Mind you, this is 2013 Snopp Dogg - not even Rastafari can kill his inner pimp.

Yesterday, Snoop Dogg threw fans for a loop when he confirmed that his pimp persona was less of a rap get-up and more of a full-blown side hustle. And Snoop wasn’t a simp of a pimp, either; according to the D-O-G-G, he was working with an exclusive celebrity clientele base throughout. While we’re not 100% convinced that Snoop is telling the total truth – no real pimp ever said “It was never about the money” – it definitely explains a lot about his late ’90s, early 2000′s attire. Now, let’s take a look back at Snoop’s most pimptastic moments.
